2026-07-22ext4: enable scoped NOFS when starting a handle in nojournal modeTheodore Ts'o
The jbd2 layer enables NOFS mode using memalloc_nofs_{save,restore}() while a handle is active. We need to do the same in nojournal mode so that it is safe to remove GFP_NOFS flags while a jbd2 handle is active. This will require that we actually allocate a real handle, but with an h_invalid flag set, so there is a place to put the saved memalloc context.

2026-07-22ext4: write back partial-zeroed edges in WRITE_ZEROESZhang Yi
FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES requires that all blocks in the requested range end up as written extents with zeroed content. For unaligned edges that were partial-zeroed in dirty unwritten or delalloc state, the buffer is left dirty while the underlying extent may not yet be converted to written. As a result, a subsequent SYNC write to this range would still trigger metadata changes, which violates the semantics of WRITE_ZEROES. Fix this by calling filemap_write_and_wait_range() for partial-zeroed edges to flush out the zeroed data and ensure the extent conversion is complete.

2026-07-22ext4: zero out whole block for clean edges in WRITE_ZEROESZhang Yi
FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES requires that all blocks in the requested range end up as written extents with zeroed content. For unaligned edges that were already allocated, ext4_zero_partial_blocks() zeros them directly. However, for unaligned edges whose underlying extent is a clean unwritten extent or a hole, the extent type remains unwritten after partial zeroing, which does not align with the semantics of WRITE_ZEROES. Therefore, when ext4_zero_partial_blocks() skips partial zeroing, it indicates that the corresponding edges are clean unwritten extents or holes. In this case, we need to expand the aligned allocation range outward to cover such edges, so that ext4_alloc_file_blocks() can correctly allocate blocks for the unaligned range. Edges that were partial-zeroed (i.e., written or dirty) are left untouched.

2026-07-22ext4: clarify return semantics of ext4_load_tail_bh()Zhang Yi
ext4_load_tail_bh() returns NULL for both holes and clean unwritten buffers, but the conditions that lead to this are not obvious from the code alone. Document this behavior to clarify the return value, so that readers do not mistakenly assume that only holes result in a NULL return. Also update the inline comment following the ext4_get_block() call to reflect this, and note that a lookup-only get_block (without EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CREATE) never sets BH_Mapped for clean unwritten extents, which is why a clean unwritten bh falls through to the "nothing to do" path.

2026-07-22ext4: move partial block zeroing earlier in ext4_zero_range()Zhang Yi
In ext4_zero_range(), move the ext4_zero_partial_blocks() call, which handles unaligned edges, into the same branch where the unaligned range is preallocated, immediately after ext4_alloc_file_blocks(). This is safe because there is no dependency between partial block handling and the subsequent full block handling. This change will be used by later patches that handle unaligned FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES operations, which will need to check the partial zeroed result.

ext4_load_tail_bh() ignores the return value of ext4_get_block(), so an I/O or allocation failure is silently discarded. buffer_mapped(bh) stays false and the function returns NULL, which callers such as ext4_block_do_zero_range() treat as "nothing to do" and return success.

ext4_block_zero_eof() is called from ext4_write_checks() on every append write beyond EOF. For inline data files, ext4_get_block() returns -ERANGE when ext4_load_tail_bh() looks up the tail block. However, this error is currently ignored because the return value of ext4_get_block() in ext4_load_tail_bh() is discarded.

2026-07-22jbd2: bound shrinker scans by examined checkpoint buffersMax Kellermann
The jbd2 shrinker currently accounts only checkpoint buffers that it successfully releases against nr_to_scan. Busy buffers therefore do not consume the scan budget. If a checkpoint transaction contains mostly busy buffers, the shrinker can scan its entire checkpoint list while holding journal->j_list_lock. Large checkpoint lists can result in excessive lock hold times and leave other CPUs spinning on j_list_lock, causing soft lockups or RCU stalls. Pass nr_to_scan into journal_shrink_one_cp_list() and decrement it for every buffer examined, including busy buffers. Pass NULL from checkpoint cleanup paths so their existing full-list behavior is preserved. This restores the scan-budget semantics that existed before journal_shrink_one_cp_list() was changed to always scan a complete checkpoint list.

2026-07-22jbd2: check need_resched() when skipping busy checkpoint buffersMax Kellermann
journal_shrink_one_cp_list() skips busy checkpoint buffers when called with JBD2_SHRINK_BUSY_SKIP. The continue statement on this path also skips the need_resched() check at the end of the loop body. Consequently, when a checkpoint list contains mostly busy buffers, the shrinker can walk the entire list while holding journal->j_list_lock, even when a reschedule has been requested. Large checkpoint lists under memory pressure can therefore cause long lock hold times and leave other CPUs spinning on j_list_lock, resulting in soft lockups or RCU stalls. Route the busy-buffer path through the need_resched() check so that the shrinker can release j_list_lock and reschedule promptly, restoring parity with the clean-buffer path, which already checks need_resched(). This does not change which checkpoint buffers are eligible for removal.

2026-07-22ext4: introduce ext4_put_ea_inode() for safe deferred iputYun Zhou
Calling iput() on EA inodes while holding xattr_sem or a jbd2 handle can trigger write_inode_now() -> ext4_writepages() -> s_writepages_rwsem, creating a lock ordering issue during mount (!SB_ACTIVE). Add ext4_put_ea_inode() which uses iput_if_not_last() as a fast path. If this is not the last reference, it is dropped immediately. If this is the last reference, the inode is linked onto a per-sb lock-free llist via i_ea_iput_node (embedded in ext4_inode_info, sharing space with the unused xattr_sem of EA inodes via a union) and a delayed worker (1 jiffie) performs the final iput() in a clean context. This avoids per-iput memory allocation. Flush points ensure all pending EA inode evictions complete before dependent resources become unavailable: - ext4_put_super / failed_mount9: before quota shutdown - failed_mount_wq: before freeing xattr caches - failed_mount3a: before freeing shrinker (journal replay case) - ext4_sync_fs: before remount-ro, freeze, or sync completes Initialization is placed before journal loading since fast commit replay may trigger evictions that call ext4_put_ea_inode(). Also moves init_rwsem(xattr_sem) from init_once to ext4_alloc_inode to handle slab object reuse after the union field has been overwritten.

2026-07-22ext4: check dir entry fits before reading the hash trailer in ext4_search_dir()Xiang Mei
For casefolded encrypted directories ext4 stores an 8-byte hash trailer after the name (EXT4_DIRENT_HASHES()), at an offset derived from de->name_len. On the sb_no_casefold_compat_fallback() path ext4_match() reads that trailer, but ext4_search_dir()'s by-hand pre-check only tests de->name + de->name_len <= dlimit, which proves the name fits, not the rounded trailer. A crafted entry whose name ends at the block boundary passes the check while EXT4_DIRENT_HASHES(de) lands past the block end, so ext4_match() reads out of bounds on an ordinary lookup. KASAN reports it as a use-after-free when the page after the directory block holds a freed object: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ext4_match (fs/ext4/namei.c:1435) Read of size 4 at addr ffff888010458000 by task exploit Call Trace: ext4_match (fs/ext4/namei.c:1435) ext4_search_dir (fs/ext4/namei.c:1470) __ext4_find_entry (fs/ext4/namei.c:1268 fs/ext4/namei.c:1632) ext4_lookup (fs/ext4/namei.c:1703 fs/ext4/namei.c:1769) ... filename_lookup (fs/namei.c:2842) vfs_statx (fs/stat.c:353) __do_sys_newfstatat (fs/stat.c:538) do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121) Require, for hash-in-dirent directories, that the whole entry including the rounded trailer fits before calling ext4_match().

2026-07-22ext4: fix buffer_head leak in ext4_init_orphan_infoGuanghui Yang
ext4_init_orphan_info() reads orphan file blocks with ext4_bread() and stores the returned buffer_head in oi->of_binfo[i].ob_bh. If ext4_bread() succeeds but the orphan block magic or checksum validation fails, the function jumps to out_free. However, the old out_free loop starts releasing buffers from i - 1, so the current buffer_head at index i is skipped. This leaks the buffer_head reference obtained by ext4_bread() on the bad magic and bad checksum error paths.

ext4_fc_replay() stops replaying fast commit tags only when a tag handler returns a negative error. However, ext4_fc_replay_add_range() and ext4_fc_replay_del_range() currently return 0 from their common exit paths even after internal failures. This hides errors from ext4_fc_record_modified_inode(), ext4_map_blocks(), ext4_find_extent(), ext4_ext_insert_extent(), ext4_ext_replay_update_ex(), and ext4_ext_remove_space(). As a result, a failed ADD_RANGE or DEL_RANGE replay can be treated as successful and the replay code may continue with subsequent fast commit tags. This is particularly problematic for DEL_RANGE because it may already have marked blocks as free before ext4_ext_remove_space() fails. If the error is swallowed, replay may continue from a partially applied range operation.

The directory buffer itself is still referenced. ext4_dir_llseek() invalidates the directory cookie so that ext4_readdir() rescans directory entries from the start of the block. The rescan checks only the lower bound of rec_len before advancing. A corrupted rec_len can therefore place the offset where the block has insufficient space for a complete directory entry. The rescan itself may dereference that truncated entry, or the main loop may pass it to __ext4_check_dir_entry(). The latter reads de->rec_len before validating the range. For example: block offset 0 4092 4096 |---- de1.rec_len = 4092 -----|----| de2.inode | de2.rec_len ^ OOB, reported as UAF de2 starts at offset 4092 in this 4 KiB block. Its four-byte inode fits in the block, but its rec_len starts at offset 4096 and crosses the boundary. The minimum safe length is inode-dependent. Encrypted and casefolded directory entries need eight additional hash bytes, while a valid metadata checksum tail is only 12 bytes. Cache the metadata checksum feature state and derive the minimum directory entry length from the on-disk format. Use it to bound both the rescan and the offset passed to the main loop. Report an offset in a truncated block tail and skip the remainder of the block, while continuing to accept an offset exactly at the block boundary.

A concurrent thread (such as ext4_page_mkwrite()) can convert the inline data to an extent between write_begin and write_end. If this happens, the write_end handlers would previously miss the inline write_end path and fall through to extent-based write_end logic. However, since block buffers were never allocated in write_begin, this resulted in NULL pointer dereferences or data loss because folio_buffers(folio) was NULL. Define EXT4_WRITE_DATA_INLINE (4) as a bit flag (Bit 2), treating fsdata as bitwise flags rather than mutually exclusive enums to keep states of the write path independent. Communicate this state via fsdata: 1) ext4_write_begin() and ext4_da_write_begin() set the EXT4_WRITE_DATA_INLINE bit in *fsdata via bitwise OR when an inline write is successfully prepared. 2) On entry, ext4_write_begin() clears the EXT4_WRITE_DATA_INLINE bit to safely handle VFS retries (where generic_perform_write() bypasses the fsdata initialization on its retry jump). 3) The write_end handlers perform a bitwise AND to check if the EXT4_WRITE_DATA_INLINE bit is set and invoke the inline write_end helper accordingly. Furthermore, during a buffered write, ext4_write_inline_data_end() acquires the xattr lock after preparing the write. If a concurrent page fault (ext4_page_mkwrite()) converts the inline data to an extent after the write_end handlers check the state but before ext4_write_inline_data_end() acquires the xattr write lock, the subsequent check will trigger a kernel panic via BUG_ON(!ext4_has_inline_data(inode)). To keep git history working and bisectability clean, replace the BUG_ON check in ext4_write_inline_data_end() with a graceful error- handling retry path in this same commit. If the inline data is cleared after locking the xattr, we safely release all resources (releasing iloc.bh, unlocking/putting the folio, stopping the active journal transaction handle) and return 0 (VFS retry) to let the generic write path retry the operation safely.

2026-07-22ext4: fix NOWAIT semantic violation in DAX extending writesBaokun Li
When a DAX write starts before EOF but extends past i_disksize, ext4_write_checks() skips the IOCB_NOWAIT check because iocb->ki_pos <= old_size. However, ext4_dax_write_iter() later calls ext4_journal_start() to prepare for inode extension, which can sleep waiting for journal space or transaction commit. This violates NOWAIT semantics and can stall asynchronous I/O frameworks like io_uring that rely on non-blocking behavior. Fix this by checking IOCB_NOWAIT before calling ext4_journal_start() in the extending write path. If NOWAIT is set and extension is needed, return -EAGAIN so the caller can retry in blocking context. Example scenario: - File: i_size = 1000, i_disksize = 1000 - DAX NOWAIT write: offset = 500, count = 2000 - ext4_write_checks(): ki_pos (500) <= old_size (1000), skip NOWAIT check - ext4_dax_write_iter(): offset + count (2500) > i_disksize (1000) - ext4_journal_start() → may sleep → violates NOWAIT Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org> Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260618125735.4156639-1-libaokun@linux.alibaba.com?part=5 Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Baokun Li <libaokun@linux.alibaba.com> Reviewed-by: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260629113827.4074335-7-libaokun@linux.alibaba.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2026-07-22ext4: use kiocb_modified instead of file_modified in DIO/DAX write pathBaokun Li

2026-07-22ext4: base unaligned DIO lock decision on partial block zeroingBaokun Li
For unaligned DIO writes, the previous ext4_overwrite_io() required the entire range to fall within a single written extent. This was overly conservative: the DIO layer only performs partial block zeroing for the head and tail blocks when they are partially covered by the write. Middle blocks that are fully covered are written as whole blocks without any zeroing, so they are safe regardless of extent state. Therefore exclusive lock is only required when partial block zeroing will actually happen: - The head partial block (if any) lands on a hole or unwritten extent. - The tail partial block (if any) lands on a hole or unwritten extent. Middle full-cover blocks can be in any state (hole, unwritten, or written) - block allocation under shared lock is safe per the previous patch's analysis (inode_dio_begin + i_data_sem protection). Replace ext4_overwrite_io() with ext4_dio_needs_zeroing(), which directly answers the question driving the lock decision. It uses at most two ext4_map_blocks() calls: one for the head partial block (also catching the case where it spans through the tail), and one for the tail partial block if not already covered. This enables shared lock for previously-rejected scenarios such as: - Unaligned write spanning written extent + mid-range hole + written extent at the tail. - Unaligned write where the partial blocks land on written extents but the middle has unwritten extents. Performance: Hardware: /dev/sda (rotational disk, ~1 GB/s sustained write) Filesystem: ext4 default mkfs Unaligned DIO writes (14336 bytes at +512 within each 16K stripe). Each stripe is laid out as [written][unwritten][unwritten][written], so the head and tail partial blocks land on written extents but the middle is unwritten. Metric: IOPS.

2026-07-22ext4: skip overwrite check for aligned non-extending DIO writesBaokun Li
Currently, ext4_dio_write_checks() calls ext4_overwrite_io() to determine if a write is a pure overwrite, and upgrades to exclusive i_rwsem if not. However, ext4_overwrite_io() uses a single ext4_map_blocks() call which only returns the first contiguous extent of the same type. A write spanning multiple pre-allocated extents (e.g. written + unwritten, or two physically discontiguous written extents) produces a false negative, forcing an unnecessary exclusive lock upgrade. After commit 5d87c7fca2c1 ("ext4: avoid starting handle when dio writing an unwritten extent") and commit 012924f0eeef ("ext4: remove useless ext4_iomap_overwrite_ops"), ext4_iomap_begin()'s fast path accepts both EXT4_MAP_MAPPED and EXT4_MAP_UNWRITTEN without starting a journal transaction. The iomap iteration naturally handles multi-extent ranges: each call returns the mapping for the current segment, and unwritten-to-written conversion is deferred to ext4_dio_write_end_io(). This means the common case of mixed written/unwritten extents never reaches ext4_iomap_alloc() at all. Even for the less common case where the range contains a hole and ext4_iomap_alloc() is needed, exclusive i_rwsem is still unnecessary for aligned non-extending writes: - truncate/punch_hole are kept out: they require exclusive i_rwsem (blocked by our shared lock during allocation), and inode_dio_begin() keeps their inode_dio_wait() blocked until in-flight bios complete. - i_data_sem write-lock inside ext4_map_blocks() serializes concurrent extent tree modifications (parallel writers to the same hole). - The journal handle is per-thread and does not require i_rwsem exclusion. - i_disksize and orphan list are not involved in non-extending writes. Skip the ext4_overwrite_io() check entirely for aligned writes by initializing overwrite to true and only calling ext4_overwrite_io() for unaligned writes. Unaligned writes still need the extent state check because concurrent partial block zeroing in the DIO layer requires exclusive serialization unless the range is a pure written-extent overwrite. Performance: Hardware: /dev/sda (rotational disk, ~1 GB/s sustained write) Filesystem: ext4 default mkfs Aligned 8K DIO writes spanning written+unwritten extent boundaries.

2026-07-22ext4: drain in-flight DIO before buffered write fallbackBaokun Li
generic/746 started failing intermittently on ext3 (no-extent inodes). The test triggers 'Page cache invalidation failure on direct I/O' warnings and subsequent fsync returns -EIO. Adding a 50ms delay between ext4_buffered_write_iter() and filemap_write_and_wait_range() in ext4_dio_write_iter() makes the race almost always reproducible. On no-extent inodes, DIO writes to holes cannot use unwritten extents, so ext4_iomap_alloc() leaves m_flags=0 and ext4_map_blocks() returns 0. The iomap layer then returns -ENOTBLK, causing fallback to buffered I/O. The fallback path in ext4_dio_write_iter() calls ext4_buffered_write_iter() which dirties pages, then does flush and invalidate. However, there's an unprotected window between ext4_buffered_write_iter() returning (with inode lock released) and the subsequent flush+invalidate. Concurrent async DIO completions from other threads can run kiocb_invalidate_post_direct_write() during this window. If pages have been re-dirtied, post-invalidation finds dirty pages and triggers the warning, setting -EIO in the error sequence. Consider a file with two 4k extents: [hole][written]. Thread A does DIO to the written extent, while thread B does DIO spanning both: kworker A (4k DIO, allocated block) kworker B (8k DIO, fallback) ----------------------------------- ---------------------------- inode_lock_shared() inode_lock_shared() iomap_dio_rw(): iomap_dio_rw(): kiocb_invalidate_pages -> clean iomap_begin -> -ENOTBLK submit_bio (async) dio->size = 0 inode_unlock_shared() inode_unlock_shared() [bio pending in block layer] /* fallback: lock released */ ext4_buffered_write_iter() inode_lock(exclusive) generic_perform_write() -> dirty pages [0, 8k] inode_unlock(exclusive) /* pages dirty, no lock */ [bio completes] filemap_write_and_wait_range() iomap_dio_complete() -> flush dirty pages kiocb_invalidate_post_direct_write() invalidate_mapping_pages() invalidate_inode_pages2_range() -> finds dirty page! -> dio_warn_stale_pagecache() -> errseq_set(-EIO) This issue can be triggered through normal I/O paths, not just intentionally overlapping DIO writes from userspace. For example, generic/746 uses a loop device where multiple kworkers issue concurrent I/O to the backing file. Additionally, when block_size < folio_size, non-overlapping DIO writes that share a large folio can also trigger the race. Add inode_dio_wait() in ext4_buffered_write_iter() before ext4_write_checks() to drain all in-flight DIO. This ensures that all DIO clears existing pages before submitting IO (via kiocb_invalidate_pages()), all BIO waits for all DIO to complete (via inode_dio_wait()), and ext4_write_checks() observes the inode size after all completed DIO so that ext4_block_zero_eof() does not race with in-flight DIO, thus eliminating the race.

Another case is PG_dirty is cleared, but PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY and PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE is still set. In this case, writeback thread checks clean folio and skips it in mpage_prepare_extent_to_map: if (!folio_test_dirty(folio) || ... folio_unlcok(folio); continue And never reaches ext4_bio_write_folio where the commit f4a2b42e7891 clears the stale xarray tags.

2026-07-22ext4: fix ABBA deadlock in ext4_xattr_inode_cache_find()Aditya Prakash Srivastava
Syzbot/stress-ng reported an ABBA deadlock in ext4 when exercising concurrent xattr workloads (using the ea_inode mount/format option). The deadlock occurs between the running transaction and the eviction thread: - Task 1 (stress-ng): Holds a reference to a shared mbcache_entry (ce) and calls ext4_xattr_inode_cache_find() -> ext4_iget() to retrieve the corresponding EA inode. Since the EA inode is currently being evicted, ext4_iget() blocks in __wait_on_freeing_inode() waiting for eviction to complete. - Task 2 (eviction thread): Currently evicting the same EA inode in ext4_evict_ea_inode(). It calls mb_cache_entry_wait_unused(oe) which blocks waiting for Task 1 to release the reference to the mbcache_entry. To break this deadlock, implement a new ext4_iget() configuration flag named EXT4_IGET_NOWAIT. When set, perform a non-blocking lookup of the inode via VFS's find_inode_nowait() API. If the inode is currently being evicted (marked with I_FREEING or I_WILL_FREE) or created (I_CREATING), or if it is not present in the VFS inode cache (cache miss), simply skip it (returning -ENOENT) rather than waiting for eviction/creation to complete, breaking the ABBA cycle. Since we return -ENOENT immediately on a cache miss, we never attempt to allocate a new inode or call iget_locked(), completely eliminating any TOCTOU race window. If the returned inode is I_NEW, wait for its initialization to clear via wait_on_new_inode(). If initialization fails and the inode is unhashed during wait_on_new_inode() waking up (e.g., due to an I/O read error in another thread), safely drop the reference and return -ENOENT. This unhashed check is executed unconditionally on all cache-hit pathways to properly handle concurrent initialization failures. Finally, standard validation checks (including is_bad_inode, EXT4_EA_INODE_FL, file_acl, and xattr flags) are executed as normal inside check_igot_inode() to fully guarantee VFS-layer safety. In ext4_xattr_inode_cache_find(), invoke ext4_iget() with the new EXT4_IGET_NOWAIT flag to perform the non-blocking cache search.

A packet carrying SMB2_TRANSFORM_PROTO_NUM bypasses the check even when the negotiated dialect does not provide transform handling. On an SMB 2.1 connection, a short transform packet therefore reaches init_smb2_rsp_hdr(), which interprets the request as a full SMB2 header and reads beyond the request allocation. The copied fields can then be returned to the unauthenticated client. Compression transforms are converted to ordinary SMB2 messages before protocol validation. After that conversion, validate ordinary SMB2 requests against SMB2_MIN_SUPPORTED_PDU_SIZE and require encryption transform requests to contain both a transform header and an SMB2 header. This rejects truncated requests before work allocation.

2026-07-22ksmbd: restore DACL size on check_add_overflow() to avoid malformed ACLWentao Guan
check_add_overflow() unconditionally writes the truncated sum into *d even on overflow, per its contract in include/linux/overflow.h. The four check_add_overflow() guards in set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() and set_ntacl_dacl() break out of the ACE-building loops on overflow, but the truncated *size is then consumed downstream at the end of set_ntacl_dacl(): pndacl->size = cpu_to_le16(le16_to_cpu(pndacl->size) + size); This produces an on-wire NT ACL whose pndacl->size under-reports the bytes actually written by the preceding fill_ace_for_sid()/memcpy() calls, yielding a malformed ACL that can trigger out-of-bounds reads when re-parsed by clients or ksmbd itself. Restore *size to its pre-addition value on each overflow branch (via `*size -= ace_sz` / `size -= nt_ace_size`) so that after the break, *size once again holds the cumulative size of the successfully-written ACEs. The committed ACL is then truncated-but-self-consistent rather than malformed. The ksmbd DACL builders are the only check_add_overflow() sites found where an overflow path breaks out of a loop and the destination value is consumed afterward. The other nearby break-style cases either return -EINVAL on overflow (transport_ipc.c) or break without consuming the overflowed destination value afterward (buildid.c).

2026-07-22ksmbd: bound DACL dedup walk to copied ACEsNamjae Jeon
set_ntacl_dacl() can stop copying ACEs before consuming the full input DACL when size accounting overflows. When that happens, num_aces reflects only the ACEs that were actually copied into the output DACL, but set_posix_acl_entries_dacl() still receives nt_num_aces and uses it to walk the existing ACE array during dedup.

Pass the number of copied NT ACEs to bound the dedup walk, and preserve the original "input DACL had NT ACEs" state separately for the Everyone/default ACL fallback. This keeps the dedup walk aligned with the ACEs that are actually present in the rebuilt DACL. Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon <linkinjeon@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com>
2026-07-22ksmbd: enforce signing required by the sessionNamjae Jeon
SMB2_FLAGS_SIGNED is controlled by the incoming request and only indicates that a signature accompanies that request. Do not use it to decide whether a signing-required session must authenticate the request. Reject an unsigned plaintext request before dispatch when the session requires signing. Continue to validate signatures on signed requests, including when signing is optional. Encrypted requests have already been authenticated during decryption. An OPLOCK_BREAK acknowledgment is a session request and is subject to the same signing rule, so do not exclude it from signed-request detection.

2026-07-22ksmbd: preserve VFS inherited POSIX ACL maskNamjae Jeon
The VFS initializes a child's POSIX ACL from the parent's default ACL and the requested creation mode. Do not mutate the parent ACL or overwrite the child's VFS-computed access and default ACLs afterwards. This preserves restrictive ACL_MASK entries and prevents SMB object creation from widening effective permissions.

2026-07-22pidfs: handle FS_IOC32_GETVERSION in compat ioctlLi Chen
FS_IOC32_GETVERSION has a distinct compat command encoding. Passing it through compat_ptr_ioctl() leaves pidfd_ioctl() unable to recognize the otherwise architecture-independent inode generation query. Translate the compat command to FS_IOC_GETVERSION before dispatching it through the native pidfd ioctl implementation.

2026-07-22ovl: check access to copy_file_range source with src mounter credsAmir Goldstein
Commit 5dae222a5ff0c ("vfs: allow copy_file_range to copy across devices") allowed filesystems that implement the copy_file_range() f_op to decide if they want to access cross-sb copy from/to the same fs type. The same commit added checks to verify same sb copy for filesystems that implement ->copy_file_range() and do not support cross-sb copy at the time, namely, to ceph, fuse and nfs. The two remaining fs which implement ->copy_file_range(), cifs and overlayfs started to support cross-sb copy from this time. While overlayfs does support cross-sb copy when the two underlying files are on the same base fs, the copy operation on the two real files from two different overalyfs filesystems is performed with the mounter creds of the destination overlayfs and the read permission access hook for the source file was called with the wrong creds. This could cause either deny of access to copy which would otherwise be allowed (e.g. with splice) or allow read access to file which would otherwise be denied. Fix the latter case by explicitly verifying read access to source file with the source overlayfs mounter creds. The former case remains a quirk of cross-sb overlayfs copy, but userspace could fall back to regular copy so no harm done.

2026-07-22xfs: add support for FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROESPankaj Raghav
If the underlying block device supports the unmap write zeroes operation, this flag allows users to quickly preallocate a file with written extents that contain zeroes. This is beneficial for subsequent overwrites as it prevents the need for unwritten-to-written extent conversions, thereby significantly reducing metadata updates and journal I/O overhead, improving overwrite performance. Punch the range first so it becomes a hole, update the size via xfs_falloc_setsize() while it is still a hole (so its xfs_zero_range() skips it and avoids rezeroing), then convert it to written zeroed extents. A crash between the size update and the conversion is safe, as a hole within i_size reads back as zeroes.

xfs_alloc_file_space() hardcodes XFS_BMAPI_PREALLOC to preallocate unwritten extents across a range. In preparation for FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES, add an explicit allocation mode argument, enum xfs_alloc_file_space_mode, and derive the xfs_bmapi flags from it. The only mode for now is XFS_ALLOC_FILE_SPACE_PREALLOC, which preallocates unwritten extents and marks the inode as preallocated exactly as before, so there is no functional change.
